[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 1772663, member: 545"] Be outraged. We are only following the RAW. The 50% number is a perfectly reasonable [i]and realistic[/i] DEFAULT sale value. The reasons are manyfold. PCs are usually dangerous and flighty. ("I know he saved the town, and I am not saying I think he is lying. But that is not same thing as being trustworthy when it comes to business. Business is business.") Magic items are inherently dodgy things. ("They [i]all[/i] say they made it themselves and only used it on Sundays. Do I look like I was born yesterday?") PCs are impatient. ("That's the best price [b]today[/b]. If you would let me hold onto it for a few months, I think may be able to do a bit better.") If I were DM and a PC wanted to set up shop, hang around town at least 9 months of the year, and spend time and energy making business contacts and building his reputation (including spending skill points on appropriate skills, among other things), I would be perfectly happy to discuss house rules to allow a reasonable profit. But for a typical PC in a typical campaign, 50% is perfectly fair. [/QUOTE]
